Hacking [SPECULATION] SSSpwn allows kernel access?

[Bond697]

if you think ssspwn can run on its own without kernel access, you're special

so right, no proof, no RE-ed code, not even an explanation. pretty much what i expected.

Of course, this was back in August, and a lot can change in a couple of months, but he was confident at one point that he could allow for region free games.
Whether or not that means ninjhax originally allowed for kernel access and Smea has since taken the decision to intentionally gimp it is a whole other kettle of fish.

"> Does this allow region free ?
ninjhax does not yet allow people to run software from other regions. This should however be possible at some point in the not-too-distant future."

That's not protesting region locking, it's playing by Nintendo's rules.

so stop buying nintendo since nintendo is the only game company that still instills region locks

Not like that has been posted five times. :-/

I've seen screenshots, which can easily be faked, not a direct link to his twitter page.

Please forgive me for wanting to link to an actual source.

why dont you explain how SMEA intends to allow region free games without kernel access

also no need to RE the code Govanify has done so already

govanify is a fucking idiot. what he said was wrong. he has no idea what he's doing.

if you knew how the whole thing actually worked(or how region free was achieved), you might have a clue. That would require real work, though.

Hum... I might be blind, but I don't see anything in this particular source that suggests so.

Don't you see it, man?

Right here:

u32 *cmdbuf = getThreadCommandBuffer();
 
    cmdbuf[0] = 0x00060000;
 
    if((ret = svcSendSyncRequest(hbHandle))!=0) return ret;

when compiled and converted into decimal it returns:

117 51 50 32 42 99 109 100 98 117 102 32 61 32 103 101 116 84 104 114 101 97 100 67 111 109 109 97 110 100 66 117 102 102 101 114 40 41 59 13 10 13 10 32 32 32 32 99 109 100 98 117 102 91 48 93 32 61 32 48 120 48 48 48 54 48 48 48 48 59 13 10 13 10 32 32 32 32 105 102 40 40 114 101 116 32 61 32 115 118 99 83 101 110 100 83 121 110 99 82 101 113 117 101 115 116 40 104 98 72 97 110 100 108 101 41 41 33 61 48 41 32 114 101 116 117 114 110 32 114 101 116 59

Kernel exploit confirmed? /s

Even if that isn't enough for you, just press up up down down left right left right b a on the homebrew launcher

Bro, smea, Mathieulth, Relys, St4rk, Bond697, all confirm that there is no kernel access.
What do they all have in common? They are people who have knowledge of the 3DS innerworkings and how the exploit work.

I srsly do not see why u cannot trust them and say otherwise. relys has even confirmed it in a thread as well

 

[NakedFaerie]

Lets hope some awesome dev releases a backup launcher soon then we can all be really happy and papsmear will be forgotten like the little worm he is.

 

[williamcesar2]

it's funny how all the people who continue to state that kernel access is possible are not devs and don't budge even though people who actually understand how the 3ds works tell them it's not possible.
really, stop being so delusional and face reality. it's surely not the end of the world if ninjhax won't make you run backups.

basically, I'm bumping this post: http://gbatemp.net/threads/speculation-yes-ssspwn-allows-kernel-access.374631/page-11#post-5173552


edit: btw it's 3:30 AM over here, I'm going to sleep. good thread-lock everyone!

it's not possible yet ! But someone else will make it possible, just wait !

 

[gamefan5]

i'm not the one who needs proof. the person making the extravagant claims is.

e: i love it when people say dumb shit they actually believe then once they turn out wrong go "HUR HUR I TROLL YOU." ok kid.

Bond, just let it go man. Apparently, he wanted to pass of as an idiot to make u rage.

it's not possible yet ! But someone else will make it possible, just wait !

Yep, by finding a new exploit.

 

[smealum]

ok ok ok ok, i don't really care enough to give details but i'll say the following and i promise i'm not lying :

1. govanify is full of shit and doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. if he'd actually "reversed it in 2h" he'd know better than to say what he's saying and to use tweets and quotes from an interview as proof (lol)
2. ninjhax does not at any point get unsigned code to run in kernel mode. there's really nothing more to say about that.
3. doing region free on the 3DS does not require kernel mode code exec. again, not much more to say about that.
4. if a part of hbmenu's code actually signified beyond the shadow of a doubt that i've been lying about the nature of the exploit do you seriously think i'd have been dumb enough to a) make it so obvious and b) make hbmenu open source at all ? if so i'm a little insulted.

to sum it up in one word :

please

 

[NakedFaerie]

Sorry I know I may sound like a hypocrite now but tbh I don't want it to ever happen because if all the 3d's will allow piracy so easy on the latest FW then you can kiss good bye to any decent games unless they are 1st party by Nintendo cause lets face facts who would even buy the games when you can get them for free so easy! The Nintendo 3DS handheld would take a massive nosedive if this happens!!! I'm sure they would sell the 3DS units by the bucket loads but games, not so, so this would be counterproductive for us all!

Did piracy kill the DS? No, did it kill the xbox360? No. Did it kill the PS3? No. Did it kill the PSP? No. Did it kill the PC? No. Did it kill the Wii? No. Did it kill the gamecube? No.
There is no proof piracy kills off games. In the end your just talking crap.

which part of anything i said was "raging"? i'm just sitting here killing some time and noticed someone being an idiot. he's pretty much the shittiest of shitty trolls.

Hehehe, well I said he wanted to, never said he did. XD
If he failed, then hey, that ain't our problem LOL! H aha

Meh... if u say so, I guess

where's your proof that Govanify is a "fucking idiot"?

practice what you preach, you made a claim, so prove it
